Re: I love my husband
The Mirena IUD sometimes stops your periods entirely (can you tell that I've researched the heck out of BC methods?). It has very low doses of hormones. I have two friends who have them and they love them. I would still be afraid to use it, myself, just because once that sucker's in there, I would not want to go insane again and then have to get it taken out two months later. My gyno is one of the ones who won't give IUDs to women who've never had children, anyway.
If we weren't planning on kids in the next 2-3 years, I would push her and/or shop around for a doc who'd consider giving me a Paragard. It's the copper, hormone-free one. The most common issues with it are heavier and crampier periods, but my cycles have been lightening up the last half-year or so (no complaints; they used to be pretty heavy). I will probably get one after we're done having kids, unless HH will consider a snip or I get the early menopause "gift" like my mom.
I don't think so? I mean damn it's in your uterus, there really isn't anywhere for it to go but out, and I'd think you would notice that! There is still a chance you can get KU with one but I think it's pretty slim.
A friend of mine had one put in and it hurt so bad she got it taken out a few weeks later. So I'm scared of them lol. I'm going to a new gyno once they review my file, and I'm going to talk to her about options... I loved the Nuva Ring, and it was this gyno that I went to once who said that I should use something else, and she seemed a little weird to me anyway (which is why I'm going somewhere else for a second opinion!)
I love the "batshit crazy."
I used the patch for a while until I read that a girl had died from a blood clot associated with the patch. Plus, it was hard to keep on my skin. It was nice not to have to take a pill though. I'm hesistant to use Nuva Ring or the patch or an IUD, anything that delivers continuous hormones, since that gives you an increased risk of clots.
I take my pill every night with the multi vitamin I started taking b/c I was afraid I'd accidentally get KU and didn't have enough folic acid in my diet.
You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.
If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step."
